TE Connectivity 207526-1 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 207526-1 is a 9-position header connector from the Metrimate series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications with through-hole solder termination. This connector features a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, tin-lead contact finish, and is rated for 7.5A at 600V operation across a temperature range of -55°C to 130°C.

The 207526-1 carries an obsolete product status, which necessitates identification of active equivalent components to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for production and field service applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 207526-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (9)
• Pitch configuration (0.197" mating pitch, 3 rows with 0.197" row spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Insulation material and dimensions

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current rating (7.5A minimum)
• Voltage rating (600V minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C minimum)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)

Manufacturing Specifications:

• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 207526-7 maintains full equivalence across all mechanical and electrical parameters while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 207526-7 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 207526-1. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch configuration, mounting method, current and voltage ratings, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction between these components is product status and compliance posture. The 207526-1 carries obsolete status with non-applicable RoHS classification, while the 207526-7 maintains active product status with RoHS Compliant certification. The contact finish differs between tin-lead (207526-1) and tin (207526-7), representing a material composition change consistent with RoHS compliance requirements.

For new designs and ongoing production applications, the 207526-7 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where tin-lead contact finish is specifically required, the 207526-1 remains available in current inventory (801 pieces) pending stock depletion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 207526-1 and 207526-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical specifications including 9-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 3-row layout with 0.197" row spacing, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Physical dimensions, insulation height, contact length, and fastening mechanisms are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 207526-1 features tin-lead contact finish on both mating and post surfaces, while the 207526-7 uses tin finish. Both maintain 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. The tin finish in the 207526-7 reflects RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 7.5A current and 600V voltage, with identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 130°C. Contact material (Phosphor Bronze), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon) are equivalent.

Q: Why is the 207526-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 207526-1 has reached end-of-life status. The 207526-7 represents the active product line continuation with improved compliance characteristics. Existing inventory of the 207526-1 (801 pieces) remains available for immediate use.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 207526-1 packaging specification is not defined in available documentation. The 207526-7 is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: Can the 207526-7 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 207526-7 is a direct functional equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The tin contact finish is compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and solder termination methods.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations for substitution?

A: The 207526-7 carries RoHS Compliant certification, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS requirements. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.
